    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Erik Morales
    3. Ray Leonard
    4. Roberto Duran
    5. Julio cesar Chavez

    The top 2 are cemented & the other 3 are MOSTLY my favs but a young Naseem Hamed might squeez his way in there every now & then + no 3-5 can easily be switched about depending on my mood.

    MORALES & ALI ARE THE SUPREME ENTERTAINERS IN BOXING HISTORY.

    :good

    Archie Moore is a good pick.

    I never watched his fight with Rocky but I heard about it (and the mafia).
    How was it ?

    1. Mike Tyson: I like to ignore the terrible things he did or may have done. The ear-biting, arm-twisting, felonies, etc...He was unique. His interviews aren't filled with boring cliches. He says either whatever is on his mind at the moment or whatever he feels like saying, maybe to trick people with that sociopathic personality of his. OK, that's not always a good thing, but I enjoy his interviews a lot. He was a hard puncher with speed who threw great combos and beautiful punches. He had a charisma about him, and I love the black shorts, black shoes, no socks thing. Most importantly, he has a whole list of high reel stoppages:

    Berbick, Frazier, Botha, Bruno I and II, Spinks, Holmes, Thomas, Boyd, Johnson, Biggs, Ratliff, etc...

    Let me think about the other 4.
